Sugar bowl Challenge 8

Hope everyone enjoying the weekend!

I've been having a lazy morning and just made this card for the fantastic challenge they have over at The Sugar Bowl! Have you seen what they have as a prize! I am positively drooling over the sugary sweet stamps!

Have gone a bit mad for the lace, ribbons and pearls on here but love this modern/vintage mix at the moment. Click on the photos to get a better look as not so clear otherwise!


Had a moment of ickle inspiration as to what I could do with a tiny bit of lace left over! (Must find out where to get more!) Apologies if everybody has already thought of this anyway! I just thought it looked nice and wanted to share!


I twisted it round to make a pasta bow shape:



...and then finished it off with a prima flower, centred with an eyelet and adhesive pearl. Hey presto pretty flower with vintage twist!

For my card I used:

Sugar nellie stamp: Elisabeth Bell - my favourite!

K and Co - McKenna

Pink petticoat sentiment

lace and ribbon from stash

prima flower

eyelet

pearls (self adhesive)

Hope you all like!
